Kobe Bryant Scores 60 Points in His Final NBA Game [Video]

The Mamba exited the stage Wednesday night after playing in the last game of his 20-year career, Kobe Bryant, the Mamba, put on a show for a sold-out Staples Center crowd.

ESPN reports Bryant attempted 50 shots Wednesday night, the most taken by anyone in an NBA game in the past 30 seasons, according to Stats LLC. It was the sixth 60-point game of his career and marked the most points scored by a player in his final regular-season game. No Hall of Famer reached 30 points in his final game, with John Havlicek’s 29 in 1978 leading the way.

“What’s funny — the thing that had me cracking up all night long — the fact that I go through 20 years of everybody screaming to pass the ball, and then the last night they’re like, ‘Don’t pass it!'” Bryant said, laughing.

“All I can do here is thank you guys,” he told the crowd. “Thank you guys for all the years of support. Thank you guys for all the motivation. Thank you for all the inspiration.”

“What can I say? Mamba out,” Bryant said with a smile in closing. Read more on ESPN….
